==Plot==

A robbery gang terrorized the state of [[Tamil Nadu]]. The police officer Mahesh ([[Ramki]]) is charged to dismantle the gang. Mahesh lives with his widowed blind sister Vidya ([[Srividya]]), and his niece Anu. The reporter Vimala ([[Nirosha]]) compels Mahesh for an interview, but he refuses. She later finds herself swooning over his investigative intellect. They later fall in love with each other. Guruji ([[R. Sarathkumar]]), the local gang-buster, then becomes discomposed with Mahesh for falling in love with Vimala, his ex-fiancé.

In the past, Mahesh was a happy-go-lucky and immature youth. Furthermore, Mahesh hated the police while his brother-in-law, a police officer, was in charge to catch the robbery gang. His brother-in-law was later killed in a bomb blast, and his sister became blind. To take revenge, Mahesh became a police officer. The rest of the story is about how Mahesh catches the robbery gang and its leader Guruji.
